Description
File Shares let you lease files. We could support acquiring and breaking such leases:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/rest/api/storageservices/lease-file
However, file share file leases are different than blob leases in that they are not returned when listing. Instead they are viewable only when getting file properties. Thus, we cannot easily show lease status in the file explorer data grid. We'd likely need to do something like portal that opens up a different control (note that portal doesn't allow creating/breaking leases in this control, just viewing):
Given the scope of this work and lack of user interest, this is currently deprioritized.

Research direction
No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by reviewing the linked Azure File Lease REST API and the existing file-share property flow; compare it with blob lease handling. Done means supporting lease acquisition and breaking through a separate control rather than the file explorer data grid.
